Mirror had earlier reported (May 13) that for his Akshay Kumar-starrer
Sooryavanshi, director Rohit Shetty had found his antagonist in Abhimanyu Singh, who had made his big screen debut with the Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra-directed 2001 supernatural-thriller
Aks and was more recently seen in the Sridevi-starrer
Mom. Now, we have learnt that while shooting for the film, Abhimanyu learnt key techniques from the actor-director duo who is known for their action skills.

Sharing that he has done a lot of high intensity action sequences in South films, Abhimanyu admitted that it was never at the same level as
Sooryavanshi. “For this film, I am jumping from one building to another and the elaborate action sequences are stretching up to 13–15 days of shoot. So, I was a bit nervous in the beginning, but Rohit sir made me comfortable and Akshay sir guided me well, even rehearsing the scenes with me and making sure that I remembered every move before the cameras rolled,” informs the actor, who recently wrapped up the Hyderabad schedule of the film.

The actor goes on to inform that Rohit and Akshay also shared some tips with him. “Rohit sir taught me how to maintain my balance and posture after a jump, while for a sequence, where I was supposed to cross a huge gap between two buildings with the help of a ladder, Akshay sir told me to remain calm and be confident. He doesn’t shy away from doing any kind of action, which inspired me a lot. Through the process I’ve learnt that it’s more about the right technique than anything else. Now I can say that I’m more fearless,” Abhimanyu says.
